A good job I generate the HTML programmatically :-)
 
This works, but having to style every button surely defeats the whole idea of 
CSS (or perhaps that is the idea).

Each button/image anchor element will need its own z-index, starting with the 
upper left. That one should be the highest. Each of the following anchors (in 
source order) should have a lower z-index in order to display the way you 
desire. As you discovered, z-index on the span did nothing for IE, the property 
must be applied to the anchor elements. Adding the z-index in the HTML may 
actually be the easiest way to go.
